Inspirational and thoughtful

I appreciate the ways Fallon links a regular writing habit to improved mental health and self awareness. I’m grateful to have found this book when I needed it.

An outstanding book for understanding one self.

To journal your daily emotions or situations that upset you can help you get over the anxiety, and anger for staters. Read this book to change your life.

Hope to move what is stuck.

Weather you are a novice at writing or experienced there is something in this Book for everyone. Great techniques for incorporating writing into daily living and use of writing to create change. Just wish the book had an accompanying PDF of writing prompts outlined.

I have listened to this at least 3 times.

This book is packed with exercises, takeaways and life examples. I haven't looked in to any other titles on the topic but I don't feel that I need to. I felt like it was that good.

I enjoyed everything about this reading. I loved the tone of her voice. I dont listen to some books because I can't stand the tone of the reader's voice.
